NHRA ARIZONA NATIONALS DROPPED FROM NHRA SCHEDULE
Fri, 2021-01-15 16:38


NHRA and Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park have made the decision to not host the 2021 NHRA Arizona Nationals, leaving an opening on the 2021 schedule which NHRA is optimistic will be filled with an event at a facility that has not hosted a national event before. The ongoing COVID-19 restrictions due to the public health situation in the Phoenix area and state of Arizona were taken into account by officials at NHRA and Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in determining to not hold the event this year.

“We’ll miss our annual stop at Wild Horse Pass, but we are working on new options for 2021,” said NHRA president Glen Cromwell. “We hope that fans in the area will try to make it to another one of our events.”

The Gila River community, track and NHRA officials mutually agreed not to host the Phoenix event in 2021, primarily based on COVID-19-related issues.

“We have enjoyed being host to the NHRA Arizona Nationals for the past 36 years,” said Mark Grado, General Manager of Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. “However, due to many circumstances beyond our control, including current COVID-19 restrictions, unfortunately the event is not feasible for the 2021 season.”

“Our focus remains on making the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series a memorable experience for our fans, racers, sponsors, partners and tracks. We’ve gotten interest by other tracks in adding an event to the schedule. We’re not sure if this is possible for 2021, but we’re definitely looking into it,” Cromwell continued.

The 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series is set to begin March 11-14 in Gainesville and currently includes 22 events at race tracks across the country.

Feel bad for the west coasters, I would be surprised if Pomona holds their race in April.......

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Already with this crap!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Here we go again

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

We are ruled by King Newsom in CA, it’s beyond getting old!!! Recall this idiot

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Hope this is the only track that does this ?

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Az Nats Cancelled....

No Schedule in Vegas yet....

Waiting for the Lucas in Tucson to cancel...

The Hits Keep Coming!!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

If the Pedo gets his way with 100 day full lock down we can kiss the entire season goodbye.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Pretty obvious Pomona is jeopardy, doubt they want any crowds leading up to the deadline for getting 1.5 million recall signatures.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Don’t expect any mercy from the soon to be new administration
The lockdown lovers
I’m sure we will get punished for the sins of the former administration.
Snowflakes will not forget who us racers and Nhra supported.
Revenge Of The Nerds will be brutal

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Very surprised if April race takes place. Really wonder about drag racing future in California at all. ?

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Hail to the King !! For thee.. Not for me.:confused:

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

i am worried about LVMS happening and
pretty much everything else in div. 7 this year!

I guess time will tell...

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

John, the fly over states are looking like a good place to be.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

This year is going to prove interesting. Praying for as many races to happen as possible. Good luck to all you racers.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Da Gov went on to talk about large outdoor vaccination sites, and the Pomona Fairplex looks like it will be used for a vaccination site. Maybe during the Winternationals, they could have a separate staging lane for Covid 19 shots.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

UPDATE!!!!!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Apparently this indicates that there will not be
a Track on their property any more in the near future?

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Maybe Speedworld will rise from the ashes. I know, wishful thinking!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Won't say I'm surprised about WHP...Look how close the city is to it now.

Just a bit sorry that I had a nice , economical driver here..until about a week ago :-(

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

This could be the tale as cities expand as the population increases. Any track that is close to a big city just might face the same situation. Not trying to be a doomsday person, but looking at the reality of the situation. As the population increases, the boundaries of the cities are pushed out. New home developments and other communities are created. What will go first, those noisy race tracks that people complain about. I am PRAYING that we have drag strips to go to 10 years from now.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

I can't see the track on their master plan map

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Cheif and his Okahoma street racers doing well-they exchange lots of bucks-:cool:

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Really sad always been one of my favorite venues!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Nugget--------- follow the money.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

Sad to see this track going away and it looks like Fontana may also be going away, Anybody got information in what's going on with Fontana?. Their website says its closed due to Covid, but autocross, track days and carting are still running every weekend.

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

In the Wild Horse Facebook page they are either trying to appease the upset racers or just doing PR. They claim they are committed to continue operating the track.

From all of us at the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, we are fully aware of the conceptual map that was released as part of a commercial redevelopment plan here at Wild Horse Pass. That being said, this design is exactly what it is, conceptual, and does not change the fact that we are continuing to push through the challenges of COVID-19 to facilitate hosting as many motorsports events as possible in 2021, as well as a push to come back even stronger in 2022. We have been a staple in the Arizona Motorsports community for nearly 40 years and don't plan on changing that heritage anytime soon!

Re: Az Nats removed from schedule
 

In other words...Get the money while we can, as we plan your demise.

(Did that sound too cynical ? PC was never a strong point with me)
